Creative Class Collective

This project uses AR technology to digitally recreate Tuna Street, the heart of Terminal Island’s historic Japanese American community, allowing visitors to experience its vibrant past firsthand. Through immersive storytelling and interactive features, students will learn about the lives, culture, and resilience of those who lived there before the forced internment during World War II. The project will launch with a community event, bringing people together to honor lost generations and ensure their stories continue to inspire future ones.

To bridge the technology accessibility gap in youth, we will create a K-12 STEAM summer workshop series focusing on hands-on immersion in art and technology, fostering creativity and innovation. The Youth Art Lab Collaborative will unite renowned artists with young enthusiasts to co-create a local art project. From problem-solving to execution, they will collaboratively develop art that benefits their community, learning and inspiring each other throughout the process.
